Lehman, Samuel (1848-1920)
| Line 17: | Line 17: | ||
Mr. Lehman's death was due to a clot of blood in the muscles of the heart. He had not been feeling well since Sunday but his methodical habits and desire to be of service had prompted him to be at the store during the week. While at the table last evening, he remarked that he did not feel able to eat his dinner and decided to go to his room. A few minutes later a groan was heard, and when his son-in-law, Dr. Kalbfleisch hurried to him, he had just expired. |

SAMUEL LEHMAN DIED LAST NIGHT
Death of Honored Citizen Takes One of Oldest Residents
CAME HERE IN 1871
Staunch Pioneer Was Veteran Kansas Dealer in Hardware
The many friends of S. Lehman whose home was at 130 East Broadway, received a shock last evening when the news of his sudden death became known. He had been greeted on the streets Wednesday afternoon and had waited on customers at the Lehman Hardware store, apparently as usual, and it is hard to realize that the face so familiar to a host of citizens of this county will be seen no more in the business which he had established in Newton almost fifty years ago.
